Oops more of the rest of the trip & some side trips in Boerne TX.

A day trip to Kerrville found some interesting sites. This guy will last forever.

Lots of amazing color and so dainty. The terrain is so pretty in the hill country. It makes drives very enjoyable.



We spotted these kids playing on the banks of this creek. On the way to the dance hall.


Probably a very neat place in it's day.

This house was for sale on the above property. Maybe a caretakers residence. Heck it only needs some windows, floor and ceiling to make it livable again.

This is the old dance hall.
Seen along the highway.
 


One of the critters you have to watch for while driving back roads.



Somebodies house or out building had recently burnt as it is still smoldering. I guess that is one of the hazards of living to far out and no one around during the day.

The last of the Kerrville drive, how very serene it looks.

The city of Boerne has done a really nice job of making a walk along Cibolo Creek. There are stories along the way telling o f the history of the area. Above and the following are some of the sites on the walk.
 

There are lots of turtles.

Some of the many plaques along the walk.
                                     

 

Catching a ride downstream.

Sunning itself.

A tribute to all the birds at the creek.
 
                                     
  Miscellaneous photos around camp and Boerne follow.

Statue or real? He was in a front yard of someones home.
They decorate the yards differently here.
                                 
This little guy tried storing his food on our slide  out under the awning--- until I found it. He thought the top of the coach was his play arena so we had to fix it so he could not get up there and do damage.
This and following are some photos in our campground in Boerne.

                  Scorpion anyone?                           
                       
    Following are some of the cars at the "Prior to 1949' car show in town.
 






 We stayed a little longer in Fort Stockton on the way home due to a bad front tire.

Look ma no wheels. Up on jacks made it easy to do both wheels at once.

This and following are from Ozona TX. A side trip while in Fort Stockton.




He had to eat too. This was at a drive in.

Don't know what kind of a bird it is, but it was worth a photo. Just sitting on the fence at Fort Stockton.
